At Cesium, we work every day to advance 3D geospatial technology by expanding the ecosystem around 3D Tiles — the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) community standard we created for streaming massive heterogeneous 3D datasets. Today, we are excited to announce that users can now convert OGC CDB datasets to 3D Tiles using the CDB to 3D Tiles pipeline.

CDB is commonly used within the U.S. government for 3D synthetic environment modeling and simulation. It defines a standardized model and structure for storing, updating, and archiving a single “versioned” virtual representation of the Earth. CDB datasets can store natural environments and man-made structures along with their attributes and relationships.

By converting CDB to 3D Tiles, data can be efficiently streamed across all platforms that support 3D Tiles — including ATAK and the upcoming Cesium for Unreal — as well as between online and offline devices, while preserving the precision and detail of the original CDB. The pipeline retains feature attributes, enabling runtime querying, styling, and analysis for deeper insights into the data. All versions of CDB are supported.
